Some truly kind words from Epicenter for Cabin-Time: Green River, the newest in the ever growing collection of Cabin-Time field guides.

Cabin Time x Green River

The Cabin-Time: Rabbit Island field guide and print edition, and Sarah Darnell's JACOBSVILLE are all on display as part of Rabbit Island: Works and Research 2010 - 2013, a retrospective of work created on and about Rabbit Island at the DeVos Art Museum at Northern Michigan University in Marquette. The exhibition opens tonight!

Rime Todd Freeman

One of four delicate renderings, this series catalogs a portion of the wealth of frost forms that can be found at Wilderness, a state park at the Northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

While based upon real meteorological phenomenon, these drawings are meant to serve as studies in natural pattern and repetition rather than direct documentation. They were created without pre-planned shapes, allowing the flow of hatch marks and lines to direct the final form and composition.

Forming when saturated air is subjected to rapid subzero temperature shifts, rime freezes onto cold surfaces as a fine layer of interlocking crystals. The sustained low temperatures of Northern Michigan offered perfect conditions for this ice form.

These drawings were made as part of the Cabin-Time: Wilderness artist residency.

A big day of ip releases at tonight's Cabin-Time: Wilderness exhibition. If you are in the greater West Michigan area, please join us at Craft House (40 S. Division) from 6 - 9pm. These will soon be available for purchase online as well.
